Tennis at the 1996 Summer Olympics – Men's singles

The United States' Andre Agassi defeated Spain's Sergi Bruguera in the final, 6–2, 6–3, 6–1 to win the gold medal in men's singles tennis at the 1996 Summer Olympics. The victory gave Agassi the fourth of five components of the Career Golden Slam; his later win at the 1999 French Open made him the first man to complete the Career Golden Slam in singles. Agassi would remain the sole man to complete the Career Golden Slam for over a decade, Rafael Nadal would join him in 2010. It was the United States' first gold medal in the event since 1924 and its third overall, equaling Great Britain's record. It was Spain's second consecutive silver medal. In the bronze medal match, India's Leander Paes defeated Brazil's Fernando Meligeni, 3–6, 6–2, 6–4. It was India's first Olympic tennis medal.

The tournament was held at the Stone Mountain Tennis Center in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. There were 64 competitors from 36 nations. Nations had been limited to three players each since the return of tennis to the Olympic program in 1988, with the number increased to four before the next games.

Switzerland's Marc Rosset was the reigning gold medalist from 1992, but he retired from his third round match against Renzo Furlan.
